H is for Happy week 6

I am very much aware that I missed last week's posting of this. I had to go home for my grandma's funeral and even if I had internet connection, going online was the last thing I felt like doing. I'm back up north now having been shipped off back to uni for the next month until Easter holidays with only an overnight visit for a Taylor Swift concert the week before I break up for Easter. Anyway, looking to begin to feel happy again here is the next H is for Happy:

Chunky chips: smothered in salt and vinegar preferably. Done right, one of my favourite foods

Carasouls: I'm fully aware that generally speaking carasouls are for small children but I love these. Plus I have an excuse on family trips out courtesy of my neice

Surprises: a lot of the time I don't like surprises but there are a few particularly lovely ones I don't mind. One such surprise was Piers showing up at the train station when I got back a couple of nights ago, feelings physically and emotionally shattered, and gave me the biggest hug ever.

Kinder Eggs: Combining two lovely chocolates AND a toy means this is one of the best sweets possible to get your hands on

Love quotes: I was originally going to have poetry as part of this week's post but then I came across this picture. I remember this quote from the Hilary Duff film The Perfect Man and it stuck in my head. I'm a romantic at heart so stuff like this makes me smile.

H is for Happy; week three

♥Taylor Swift. My tickets for her Speak Now tour date in London came today. Props to my mum for knowing this would be worth texting me about and brightening up my day.

♥CANDY! Sweet Home Alabama is an amazing sweet shop just down the road from my uni flat and does my favourite sweets for a decent price. I introduced a friend to the shop this week and they love it as much as I do.

♥The Saturdays. I saw these lovely ladies in Newcastle on Monday and it was excellent. I wasn't sure what they would be like live but they are good. I love this picture the most from all the ones I took on the night. Mollie (my favourite) just looks ready to party and this was my favourite costume set they had.

♥Hanging out and being goofy (on the odd occasion) with a friend/friends. My friend Kerri from back home came to visit me this week. She arrived on Monday (she came with me to see the Saturdays) and left this evening (Friday) and slept on my floor in my comfier-than-my-bed sleeping bag. I loved having her visit and enjoyed taking her to Lush, Paperchase, the Disney Store and Sweet Home Alabama - none of which we have back home.

♥Converse. I treated myself to these last week (thank you bursary) and have almost been living in them since then. I think there's been the odd occasion where I've just popped across the road to Wilko in ballet pumps but my love affair with Converse has been reignited this week.

And that is five things that has been making my life lovely this week.
